Corporate fish and chip catering in Fant, fried fresh
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include project milestones and thank-you lunches for the team, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Work events near Fant might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A chip van suits all of them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Fant questions
How far is Fant from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Fant?
The closest is East Farleigh station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Do you cover Fant?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Fant is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Find out what documents the site needs

Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, which we agree with you beforehand. Lunchtime staff treats in Fant are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
